Life On Mars: The Real Adventures of the Unreal Sam Tyler
After two episodes, I’m actually kind of getting into Life On Mars. So I figured I’d post about it, and see who else is on board with this show so far.
Watch the Life On Mars Premiere
Did you miss the premiere of “Life On Mars” but are interested in watching it? Well, the folks over at ABC sent along this widget, so you can watch the first episode in its entirety. Enjoy!
(P.S. I have no expectation that this will work for the non-U.S.ers out there, so for my Canadian friends, please enjoy the peace and quiet of a blank screen.)
New Stuff I'm Watching This Fall
It’s Monday, and I’m busy. But since a few of you have asked, I thought I’d let you know which new TV shows I’m watching so far this season (True Blood, Life On Mars, and Sanctuary), and see what you think of them. And while you’re at it, if there are any new shows you’re watching that you’re excited about, be sure to let me know!
True Blood
So far, this new HBO series by Alan Ball about “outed” vampires has, for me, really lived up to the summer’s worth of hype. Anna Paquin is acting the hell out of it, pretty much as you’d expect. And confining the plot to a small town in New Orleans has succeeded in keeping the premise from being as trite as I originally feared it might be. Based on the buzz, I thought this series could end up being a trite “statement” show — using vampires as a metaphor for homophobia and racism in America. Which on some level it is, and that’s fine. As long as it doesn’t ever overplay that hand.
